My guild finally had Merc's for the first time in a long time, and we couldn't get them into siege


Ok, I found my silver lining in this. Disappointing lowlife types who hire mercs is about the only plus of this fiasco. Makes our loss today (we had 4 in, but 3 were tower/baloon alts) little more bearable.

FYI, I dont "hire" mercs, I have friends in guilds who couldn't get signed up last night. Your so sweet for calling me a lowlife though.

Sure, sure... friends... Mercing and point-dropping are two sides of the same coin - making sure that the power of the guild does not match its score. Since your opponent is picked on your score, you are deliberately pretending to be lower level than you really are, and you know you will get matched against someone who is weaker, matching the score but not the actual strength. Deliberately picking a fight with someone who is weaker is lowlife in my book.

Back on topic. Anyone noticed any patterns in who can get in and who can't? People tried channel hops, zone changes, relogging - nothing seemed to make a difference. It was also not clear that the first people who tried to get in were the ones that got in.

Some got in, most can't. 6 on our side got in and 3 on theirs.

{Edit} We offered tie. Since things are jacked up.


Oh hey it's you guys, it was sorta nice to screw around for a little bit, though it was annoying at first trying to fight mages without a mdef buff up.

I need my 200k+ mdef to start tanking everything :(

Just like in the past if you weren't in the fist few clicking to get in, you didn't get in. If you crashed out of siege you didn't get back in.

Today since siege I keep getting dropped to login when afk.

SW sucked, especially that we got only one main vs. 3 of their character. Only account I could log in on was L61 alt that is geared to kill ballons, and had even trouble getting one in mid-mid. Should I mention that guards killed it very easy. :D

I know, someone keep telling me I should level to the cap all alts, but I am kind of stubborn... :)

As for Fire festival, last year we were at all time low population thanks to this festival - PLEASE either move back to previous one, or go to the next one. Last year support could not fix it, and current support.... hmm... let's not go that road.

LAST TIME during fire festival they did a ton of fixes to stop this and none of them worked.. and if anyone remember this was the EXACT TIME they reduced number of people from 50 to 36 THINKING that that would fix issue... and what do you know it didnt... and they never switched it back, so now when some guilds get lucky enough to have more than 36 people playin for siege... some people have to sit out and are not allowed to play.
Well now that we know it didnt fix a damn thing.. can you get rid of fire festival and bring back cap to 50 again? i personally dont care at all if we have zero festival until next one is ready to come in. Because no festival will keep more players playing than having a festival that is ruining gameplay.

I believe that is unrelated issue, and cap was changed after they moved servers to Florida. Apparently Commodore 64 used to run SW is not best of the line of servers... and has limited resources...

Yeah... no more taking alts to SW until main gets in.

Everyone who could not get in was either in world or in one of those "last man on earth" scenarios, with all the landscape around, but all the NPCs and other players gone. Could not get out of that either. It's like the toon was in process of being transferred to the SW server, but the zone never loaded.

Agree. I don't recall the last year, but that can't be good for the game to have SW down or that glitchy that long. Fire Festival is a filler festival anyway, not tied to any date or event in particular. It is February, not exactly first month that comes to mind when you think of Fire theme.

I am surprised that Atar hasn't made a joke yet like "It is fire festival because that is what they should do to the person who implemented it". :p

I don't see a similar thread on the EU forums, so does this mean that this issue only ever affects US servers?

If so, I don't have high hopes for this getting fixed. Guess no siege for the next month. :c

Good point. It is possible that there is a peculiarity in SW server configuration that is on US servers only. That would explain why the problem is not on EU and why it is not patched from last year. At the risk of summoning ...umm... a certain server-mate, replicating problems under controlled condition is usually nigh impossible in situations other than the environment where the problem occurs.

But, yeah, sadly, that means we are not likely to get a fix unless RW techies spend lots of time on US servers. I don't see it happening.

Glad I am having positive impact on your thinking...

Problem is, they can't fire someone who is already being fired - support. :)

This is going to be one of those - maintenance to maintenance hope of SW being fixed and it will get fixed a bit late. Last year fire festival was just after NY. This year is starting a bit late. Wonder what is the reason.

People in EU still playing game?

Their forum was always less used then our, and/or they have already learned that QQ does not help at all...

Hello and good morning, everyone. Well, it's morning for me at least.

I've been informed that QA is looking into this issue, which seems to be limited to only US servers at this time.

Here's hoping for a fix soon.

step 1. Move the server to a core i7 and away from the i386 pc it's currently sitting on...
step 2. Move the server off of wifi over to a gigabit switch
step 3. Make sure the server is not doing nightly backups of EU servers

^-- helpful tips for the QA group :))

THere is no pattern my entire guild going to SW was all in the same zone around the same snoop and only three of us got in and everyone else crashed upon trying to enter.

So please explain to me what is the new part of this festival breaking the same thing as the new part of the festival broke last year????

ROM'S REPUTATION AT IT'S FINEST.

So Mr Pink Hat go ahead and educate me on what is the new part of this festival breaking the same thing as last year?????

Maybe you will understand the frustrations of so many of us players some day.

kakita01, Mr. Pink Hat was in the same wagon as you last night, with only his alt getting into SW. Watching it taking tower and almost get killed in process was fun... :) As we already mentioned, 4 of us got into SW, only one main account and 3 alts, against 3 apparently main (or well geared alts) on other side and 1 alt.

Something to note, my alt and other player had different numbers for how many people are in SW. Also we had still our 1hour buffs we got before SW still running different times after SW.
